Buckskill Tennis Club Skates Into Winter Programming in Hamptons Weekend Roundup

Buckskill Tennis and Winter Club will reopen its winter programming with public skating on Saturday and Sunday, Jan 24-25 at 178 Buckskill Rd in East Hampton. The facility, known locally as Buckskill Tennis and Winter Club, operates as Buckskill Winter Club for skating in the colder months and converts its surface back to tennis courts when temperatures rise, making this weekend’s sessions a key community touchpoint in the off-season.

Skaters are invited to "embrace the cold, grab your ice skates, and show your skills" during the weekend sessions, which serve as a family-friendly alternative to indoor recreation and keep players, parents, and neighborhood residents connected to the club between tennis seasons. For tennis players, coaches, and juniors who track court availability, Buckskill’s winter schedule signals when club facilities are repurposed and when court preparations will resume in spring.

Buckskill’s skating is one highlight in a packed East End weekend. The 3rd Annual Off Hampton Film Festival will screen Saturday evening, Jan 24 from 7 pm to 9 pm at Southampton Cultural Center, 25 Pond Ln, Southampton. Outdoor and wildlife options include the Light The Night Winter Trail Walk at Quogue Wildlife Refuge, 3 Old Country Rd, Quogue, scheduled for Saturday, Jan 24 from 6 pm to 7:30 pm. Long Island Restaurant Week returns Sunday, Jan 25 and runs through Feb 1, giving local restaurants and diners a chance to plan winter dining outings.

Community groups have other draws as well. Westhampton Rotary’s annual spaghetti dinner will run as a community fundraiser, and Wölffer Estate Vineyard will host a Game Night pairing board games with wine for a low-key evening option. Together with Buckskill’s weekend skating, these events provide social and fundraising opportunities across the East End while indoor and outdoor sports programs settle into their winter rhythms.

For calendar planning, remember that Buckskill’s winter incarnation means skating availability is concentrated in the cold months and that the site will transition to tennis courts when the season turns. Check individual event pages or contact host venues for any last-minute schedule or weather-related changes. The weekend’s mix of skating, film, trails, dining and fundraisers keeps local activity humming while clubs prepare for the return of spring tennis.
